La Jornada de las Quebradas

Details

We can guarantee a stunning and challenging race course and an old-school ultra running feel. This is a relatively minimalist race in which runners will need to make do with adequate but minimal course-markings and similarly adequate but minimal aid stations. A portion of the profits from this race will go toward funding the Socorro High School Cross Country team and maintenance of our local trails. We greatly appreciate anybody who comes to experience the incredible trail running that Socorro has to offer.

Registration Fee

$95. All participants will receive a meal from our local food truck, Cubish, free event photos, and an event shirt. A portion of the profits will be donated to the maintenance of our local trails and the Socorro X-C team. Shirt availability is guaranteed for participants who register before February 1st.

Awards

First place of each category will receive a $50 REI gift card and a customized trophy.

Check-in

6:00-6:45 AM. Bibs will be handed ou at the start linet. We will have at least two portable toilet at the start area, but runners can also find public restrooms at Escondida Lake Picnic Area. Driving Directions and Parking: The race begins at a small pullout off of the Quebradas backcountry byway. The road to this location is well maintained and is drivable in most sedans. Some washboard exists, however, so if you don't want to drive your vehicle on some bumpy sections, runners are encouraged to carpool with others. Depending on the turnout of the race, the pullout should be large enough to accommodate all runners. If this is not the case, there are pullouts that can accommodate some vehicles within 0.5 miles of the race start. If runners would like to carpool to the start, they can do so at Escondida bridge park, which is just before the crossing of the Rio Grande and has plenty of parking. We strongly encourage runners to carpool if possible. From this location, runners will drive another 3 minutes to the Quebradas backcountry byway, and another 7 minutes on the dirt road to the race start.
